Regardless how good a player is, he can't do anything if he doesn't find a support from the other players in the team. CR7 did quite good in Juve and ManU but look how bad these teams were in these seasons although having good players. Many fans criticised the way CR7 is playing and blamed him for the way the team was performing.
Anyway it would be better for Bayern to find a younger talent. Having CR7 won't guarantee anything imo.
Ronaldo is a very good and reliable player, he puts in so much hard work to his game which has always shown in his performance in every game and has put him in spotlight through out his career but the success of a club does not depend on one player alone. It should be team effort, when one player is performing alone and others are keeping up low performance and low work rate it will also affect the team. Same scenario when Ronaldo played for Manchester United, he was putting in his best but the team was performing poorly and they couldn't get a good result at the end so it takes team work to achieve team goals not just individual effort alone.

Barcelona should try to keep Dembele in the team. He is a talented player and he can offer a lot to the team. The financial problem which Barcelona is facing right now is obviously really troubling. But I don't understand how they can look for a player who will cost them 50 million. This is because they are not going to be able to pay even the full salary of the players that they currently have. Barcelona don't have a particularly weak squad as of now. And I think it is going to be better if they concentrate on how to keep the players that they have instead of trying to buy a 34 year old player for 50 million. I really hope that Dembele agrees to take a pay cut for Barcelona's sake.
Apart from Ousmane Dembele being prone to injuries, he is a better player than Raphinha statistically. I will pick Ousmane Dembele over Raphinha anytime. Dembele has the ability to dribble through defences, get the ball to the attacker and very good with his finishing with very good pace. I think Raphinha is joining Barcelona will be coming in as a backup option for Dembele. It will be really good having both players in the club.

In every season in the Bundesliga, we only see the dominance of Bayern Munich. We are upset to see Bayern Munich dominate and win the title. We want to see a new team as champions. But Dortmund, the Bundesliga's best-known and one of the strongest team, have no interest in winning the title. Leipzig, on the other hand, try to win the title but they do not succeed due to the lack of enough talented players in the team. If Leipzig or Dortmund had spent enough money to build their own team, it would not have been so easy for Bayern Munich to win the title every season.
That's why the English Premier league is so prestigious and their matches are streamed more, the league is very competitive and you can't have one team dominating for years. Bayern Munich are doing everything possible to remain dominant so they deserve to win, the other clubs seem to be playing just to remain in the league and maybe compete in Europe. If you want to win the league you have to bring in talented and hard working players in.

Arsenal and Tottenham are also competing for Raphinha. Reported from transfermarkt arsenal and barcelona are more likely to get Rapinha, I believe Rapinha is more likely to be with Arsenal because Barcelona still prioritize Munich striker, Lewandowski

On the other hand, Leeds United have made an agreement to bring Sinisterra from Feyenoord, this further strengthens the possibility that Raphinha will leave Leeds United this season because both of them play for the Winger position.
Raphina has been one of the talked about names in speculation for weeks now, the winger has been on the list of some big clubs seeking his services and deals have being stalling because of his price. I think Leeds are using this to buy time to find a replacement and when they find a replacement for Raphina they will be willing to bring down his price. Hopefully Arsenal and Barcelona will come back with new bids next week.

Anthonio Conte is the only manager in the English premier league that have made more signing than any manager this summer. We will be expecting more high performance from the team. Conte always know the perfect player to bring to the team and he's trying to restrategize the team in his own making and tactics. One good thing with Tottenham is that they believe Conte can make their team come back fully and set them on the right track because they have experience lot of bad season in the recent years and they need to belt up in other to challenge other teams in the Premier League for the EPL title.
When you have a manager who has proven himself to be worthy, and having won 2 league titles from 2 different leagues and struggling teams you cannot help but believe he is the right man to change things around the club. Tottenham have made 5 signings this summer, they are serious this time and want to win a trophy next season. They have got good players who will strengthen their team and boost their confidence next season. I think they can fight for the premier league trophy next season.

I think Di Maria has always been in the shadow of other players in his team. In the Argentine national team you always have Messi, of course, no name can compete with that. Aguero had you there too. He didn't do badly at Real Madrid, but you'll never be a striker if Ronaldo is in your team too. He wasn't bad at United, but I don't think he was able to show his best there. He only got really good later on. Now at PSG, he also has the problem of playing in a team with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe again. Then you are basically 4th choice.
It will definitely be difficult being in spot light when you are playing with these players of this pedigree, these players are like gods they have the ability to keep you on the bench for as long as they stay in the club. I think it will be much better for Di Maria at Juventus, there he would play with players on same level and will have opportunity to shine and stay relevant in the team again.

For De Ligt, Bayern seems to be the closer one to sign him. Chelsea almost abandoned that idea and are turning towards De Jong which will cost them a lot unless they agree to a swap deal to reduce the cost. Of course, Chelsea still have to fix their defence line. There is Kimpembe that might be available since PSG agreed on his departure if they find a good deal ~€60m..
Yes, it looks like FC Bayern is going to get there 2 center defenders some support. Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano are young and good players, on the outside right / left Bayern is well positioned, there I think they need no new player. I think the deal makes sense and Bayern gets him now for the defense.  One Goalgetter, one in midfield and one as a right defender is already there. And now one for the center defense.

They actually need a center back. They parted ways with Sule after the expiration of his contract last month. They only have Upamecano as a center back and Lucas Hernandez to pair up sometimes. It is for sure that they will be eager to sign a defender to replace Sule. I think they can pull this deal regardless of Juventus asking fee. If they could pay €80M for Lucas Hernandez back in 2019, then meeting Juventus fee for De Ligt's deal won’t be an issue. If Bayern do pull off this signing, it would be another excellent coup in a window that has already brought them Sadio Mane and Ryan Gravenberch.
It's really very expensive getting a center back, every club wants to get the best offer for their center backs and as it stands it is difficult to get a good centre back for an amount below £40m. De ligt is a good player, young, strong and physical but for that price i think he is over hyped. Not many clubs will be able to spend that amount on de ligt but Juventus still insisting on that price means anyone who wants him will have to pay that amount. I don't think Bayern will be willing to pay that amount so it's left now to Chelsea if they can break the bank for de ligt.

Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to who is the best club there and from these two clubs it is clear they have a base and something to be proud of this season. City with Back to backnya won the EPL and Liverpool with their Carabao and FA Cup.
But apart from that, in this case, it is clear that City has the advantage because sometimes the Champions League is more viewed there.
As for next season, I'm actually still thinking about the same scheme between City and Liverpool because it's the same as the previous seasons, if not City won then Liverpool and if not Liverpool it would be City.
It seems that this is the case, Man City scheme for next season looks quite clever, with the addition of a very deadly and dangerous squad in fact Man City has ambitions in the Champions League so that it can put forward its position more than Liverpool. When viewed from Liverpool's current scheme, the difference between the two is quite thin. Moh Salah, whose contract has been extended, has highlighted Liverpool side, and of course Klopp was expecting more from that
There is no doubt Manchester City is currently the most busy team in this transfer window with Liverpool is also already complete their few signings which can bring some good strength in their squad but here I am having one more team which is suddenly doing some very good signings and these can bring them to good level even there were good in last season but sadly suddenly have some choke and settled at third spot.

But, now with their few signings look like they could be more lethal and have chance for better challenge to both top order teams with now Tottenham and Arsenal are also busy and trying to have their desired players which can give them good support but with this all now next season is going to be entertaining as all teams in Premier League having their best choices for staying at top.
With the kind of signings we are seeing in this window the league will surely be entertaining next season, every team is busy and active in the market including Fulham, Leeds united and Nottingham forest. Competing for the league title and top 4 will be tougher than before. Tottenham and Arsenal are now looking like title contenders. Also the new teams that have come to the EPL will be looking to make an impression

This evening Juventus had a lot of meeting and this is the situation.

Di Maria will come to Italy tomorrow.
Pogba will come Saturday.

Today Juventus pushed for Koulibaly from Napoli and Zaniolo from Milan and Arnautovic (back up player)

Pogba is a very good signing but only for Juventus, where the club already knows how to use him and what he's really capable of.  And it's a free transfer too and he's just 29 years old.  Cheesy  Juve bought him for cheap from United then sold him back with a high price tag and now they're getting him back again for free.  Lolol.

Anyway, what's the news on De Ligt?  A week ago I heard he's going to Chelsea, now it's Bayern Munich.  I think he could be a good signing for United.  Maguire sucks.

Complete deal for Paul Pogba would be completely done on Saturday. He's still got all of everything we do know about Paul Pogba. Exactly the one that won the league with Antonio Conte and with France.
Getting a proper Defensive Midfielder behind him to recover those balls and free Paul Pogba upfront to make good, great and decent ball delivery.

De Ligt currently pressured by Bayern Munich, higher chances of getting him are from the Bundesliga Champions.
To Manchester United? Lol I'm still patient on how Erik Ten Hag deals with Harry Maguire situation at Manchester United coz he's Subpar and not just good enough for Manchester United.
I'm really happy for Paul Pogba getting a move to Juventus, seeing his performances drop so low really touched me, I like his style of play and I like to see him perform and be talked about every week. It's obvious it was time to move from united and I'm glad the move will be completed soon. I'm also curious about how Erik Ten Hag plans to deal with the situation of Maguire and finding replacement for Pogba, Mata and Matic. Hopefully before the end of the window he would do something..

I doubt that Chelsea is even interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean it definitely makes sense to discuss the transfer of such extremely skilled and effective striker but just because you are thinking about something does not mean that you are really wanting to sign him in the end. It is the same with Bayern Munich. It is also pretty much confirmed now that Ronaldo also was a topic that was discussed at Bayern Munich but in the end they decided to not try to sign him, which was a good decision in my opinion. Yes Ronaldo is a still a great player but not the best in the world anymore and he still wants to be paid like he is the best.
Another rumor Chelsea success reach personal agreement with Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and looks Ronaldo transfer will close. If Chelsea success get Sterling I don't think keep need Cristiano Ronaldo on forward position. After losing Lukaku, Chelsea still not find with new central forward bit Sterling ability to play on Lukaku position or have option with right and left side of winger. Not close opportunity before finding new central forward Chelsea will make alternative option with Cristiano Ronaldo transfer, but all it depending with Thomas Tuchel need to get Ronaldo or not.
Sterling is good, and has the attributes to succeed at Chelsea but the problem at the club is something Sterling alone coming in would solve, he could be very good but he will not cover up in the defense. The team is lacking dept at the backline. We fans get so excited with news of our club making big name signings and sometimes we exaggerate things and make it seem like we signed the saviour of the world. Sterling, Ronaldo are not what the club needs right now they need to sign defenders
1952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 08, 2022, 05:43:29 PM
Wissam Ben Yedder seems like a target for Manchester United according to a rumour came out today. We all have heard about Ronaldo's intention to leave and Manchester United seem willing to listen to offers from now on as well. They will need to bring a solid centre-forward to be able to fill Ronaldo's place as good as possible. Ben Yedder might be one of the good choices too actually. He is a very experienced player and he is really good at finishing too. He scored 25 goals in the Ligue 1 last season.

Currently Manchester United is still showing vulnerability after losing Ronaldo, no one can replace his position. Rashford is still early to become the main striker if there is no partner who can supply the ball. With Ronaldo sale at this time, maybe the Man United manager can have a little picture of young players, for example from Italy or Francis who wants to be in the Premier League.

The impact would be enormous if Ronaldo actually left Man United, because for now only Marcus Rashford striker is available who can replace Ronaldo.
Even then Rashford's performance is on the decline right now. So indeed Man United must immediately find a replacement for Ronaldo. Many rumors
have sprung up regarding the striker who will be targeted by Man United to replace Ronaldo, and one of them was a rumor that said Brian Brobbey
was intrigued by Erik ten Hag. It is very natural that Ten Hag wants Brobbey who is currently playing at Leipzig, because Brobbey is a former Ajax player,
even rumors that Ajax also want to buy Brobbey again from Leipzig. But Brian Brobbey is too young to be Ronaldo's replacement and it's not the right
choice in my opinion. Erik ten Hag must look for a striker who is more mature in age and also has qualities that are not much different from Ronaldo.
It will be much easier letting a good player go when you know you can find a suitable replacement immediately,  take a look at Liverpool, it was easy letting Mane leave because they were able to find Luiz and Nunez to fill in the space immediately. When Arsenal lost Aubameyang and couldn't find a replacement for him it cost them the top 4 position, if they had a good striker they would have finished top 4, that's the kind of impact you get when you lose a key player without doting the i's and crossing the t's.

If we talk about Cristiano Ronaldo not being able to take Manchester United to the Champions League, of course we have to see how Manchester United works as a whole. We cannot say that Ronaldo is not on par with a club with such team performance. It's very difficult for any player to do something extraordinary at Manchester United like last season.
You can't blame Ronaldo in the situation that Manchester United experienced last season for failing to get a ticket to the Champions League. ronaldo has tried hard with his big contribution in scoring goals. It's just that Manchester United experienced a fairly large transition period last season with a change of coach and also some big problems hit them.

So with this situation Ronaldo will definitely choose to leave this summer in order to be able to play in the highest competition league UCL together with other clubs.
I think it's pretty clear that I don't blame Cristiano Ronaldo for what happened to Manchester United last season. That it is true that it was Manchester United's own performance that caused them to be labeled "bad" in his performances last season.
Now Manchester United's move to change coaches for next season I think is quite appropriate. But they should not judge in just one season, because it was quite difficult for Ten Hag to lift Manchester United's performance after what happened to them in the previous season.
As days go by it looks much likely that Christiano Ronaldo might be moving from Manchester United but no destination looks certain at the moment. A move to Roma wouldn't be bad for the GOAT but Ronaldo loves to compete at top level, and at 37 he's still much hungry for trophies which he is seeking for. He will want to be at a club who can compete and win trophies. He may willing to look past club loyalty and rivalry and go the club where he can be in the position to score goals without stress
1954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 08, 2022, 05:28:28 PM
I'm having a feeling the reason why Chelsea is going for Ronaldo is because he can play as top 9, and he has a lots of experience as regarding the champions league, but I don't think that moving to Chelsea would be a good option for him, I won't be surprised had it been that Arsenal had qualified for this season champions league he might decide to join Arsenal, he's so desperate about playing in the champions league, maybe just to up his champions league goals record, he shouldn't dent his image by moving to Chelsea, not a good move for him, bayern is still preferable
Chelsea are priotizing the number 9 position which is currently vacant since Lukaku's move to inter Milan. They are in need of a pure 9 and they have identified Ronaldo to fill in that vacancy because he in clinical and sharp in front of goal and guarantees 15 goals at minimum per season and he has much experience playing in the champions league too but the question is will Ronaldo be willing to join them? That will come as a huge problem convincing him to join them because i feel he will want to try a different league and with a team that are in good shape and will wins trophies.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 08, 2022, 05:22:54 PM
Chelsea had a significant impact in the league last season having played both finals of the FA cup and league cup respectively. It is no doubt that they did well but luck was not in their favour and so they lost both finals to Liverpool. Everyone expected more from the club coming from the previous season as Champions in Europe and winning the Super cup also at the start of the season everyone expected to see that fire from the previous season that seemed not to be the case at the end.

Raheem Sterling can add his own quota to the Chelsea struggle. He got dribbling skills and good leg work. Romelu Lukaku got 8 goals for Chelsea last sesson, Sterling had 13 goals in the premier league last season and he wasn't even a starter at Manchester City, If he is goes to Chelsea and has a starting position, he will be able to give them good numbers. Sterling is a smart player, he doesn't get injured easily like other players.
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 07, 2022, 04:27:35 PM
According to sources Raheem Sterling has confirmed a move to Chelsea as an agreement has been reached for a transfer fee of £45m and this has been agreed by both parties.
However, at this time Chelsea are still prioritizing the transfer of Rapinha, which it is reported that Chelsea are also interested but this is still waiting for an offer from Barcelona whether there is a match or not with the Leeds side but Chelsea will still wait for the next news, which means with other rumors Ronaldo and Neymar who will go to Chelsea is still not a priority. Tuchel seems to focus on other players compared to the two stars.
Thomas Tuchel should rather go fully for Sterling rather than Ronaldo or Neymar. The former is old and seeking for individual glory while the later is more concerned about his happiness and wellbeing. Though the later is a raw talent but he plays football for fun. Both the former and the later will rip the club off with huge wages. All these cannot be said of Sterling who works very hard in the pitch and whose wages won't be that high.
I sincerely advice that Sterling is a better option among them.
I do not believe Ronaldo is only plays for individual glory. I however agree Raheem Sterling would be a better choice for Chelsea. Not because he plays better than Ronaldo or Neymar but because it would cost the club lesser to get Sterling and he will be open to a move to the north london club. It is almost certain that Ronaldo might not like to join Chelsea and would rather seek for a club outside England same as Neymar and in addition Sterling would fit right into Tuchel's style of play.
1960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 07, 2022, 04:13:43 PM
When it comes to the Messi topic I also agree with you. I think that Barcelona's first choice would absolutely be Messi rather than Ronaldo for the sake of Messi's incredible years at the team. I don't expect Messi to go back to Barcelona from now on too. They are in a new phase to build a brand new team so Xavi wouldn't like to bring him for now. No matter Ronaldo or Messi comes, the team will have to play over that player which would destroy all the plans for them.
After neymar, I heard also about Messi who will leave PSG because he didn't on the squad project for the next session, maybe Gartier will save money and salary by kicking off the expensive player like Messi and Neymar, who know. If this happens, no other choice but to Messi back to Camp Nou and repeat the memory with Xavi. But, I think Xavy must thinking the center field first after Sergio Busquets leave for MLS because this is an important thing than forward.
It will be tragic for PSG losing both stars at this crucial time when all hands should be on deck for the coming season. PSG's major goal is winning the champions league and are doing everything possible to achieve that. They have already sacked Pochettino in that effect. I think Neymar and Messi could be vital pieces of the puzzle and should be retained for the coming season, I read something some days ago that said  Galtier wants Neymar to stay at the club and he is part of the plan for the next season.
